News & Resources
Stay up to date on the latest Michigan STR news and resources to ensure your hosting is top notch.
Be Responsible, Stay Informed
Responsible hosting matters. Most guests and hosts of short-term rentals are good people, who behave as any good neighbor would. As responsible hosts, we seek to model the practices and behaviors that ensure our community acts as good neighbors and attracts only the best guests.
We provide free news and resources to help all Michigan hosts operate responsibly and in compliance with local requirements. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date, or become a MiSTRA member to access additional resources in our member portal.
